The 1960 census may well change that. Several cities have grown very much. Fort Wayne, third in size to Gary and IndiaitapoHs, is the largest city in the district. Other nearby cities, and their population, as shown in 1950. are: City Population City Population Angola 5,081 * Columbia City 4,745 Auburn 5,879 Garrett 4,291 Berne 2,277 Kendallville 6,119 Bluffton 6,076 Ligonier 2.375 Butler 1,914 Woodburn 540 Cities Outside Fourth District: City Population Warsaw 6,625 Dunkirk 3,048 Huntington 15.079 Hartford City 7,253 Peru 13,308 Portland 7,064 Wabash 10,621 New Haven, which was not incorporated in 1950, is another growing city in this area. The location of a huge industrial plant there may well affect the growth even of Decatur. The main thing that will determine the growth of Decatur now is the thinking, planning, bnd cooperation of the people of the city. Decatur is at the crossroads right now. It can spurt ahead, and grow tremendously in the next decade, thanks to leadership, .planning and cooperation. Or it can fight, argue, fade, and falter, and allow local leadership to pass to Berne, Monroe, New Haven, Hoagland, and Bluffton. The choice is up to the leaders. Progress in the past five years has been made at the expense of needless bickering and wasted effort. Let’s hope that the community leaders will stick together despite political differences, and build a better Decatur and Adams county.

U.S. Automobiles Lower Every Year AUSTIN. Tea. <UPI>—If Amerj ica's automobiles continue along, the trend of tow. underslung de- j sign, it wouldn’t be long before the driver’s eyeballs would be dragging , the ground, a civil engineer says. Clyde E. Lee of the University of "Texas surveyed the design of some 2,000 automobiles and found; that the driver’s scope of view has dropped more than six inches in the past decade. But Lee believes engineering I changes will be made to ensure good driving visibility and that' highway designs will change to meet the changing body styles of automobiles. The trend toward lower cars has accelerated in recent years, Lee pointed out "You can’t make the eye height any lower than 3.5 feet without having the driver practically lying on his back —3 5 feet is the practical limit,” he said. “If we should continue at the present rate, we’d have the driver’s eyeballs dragging the ground by the year 2,000," he added. The reduced scope of vision should be taken into consideration when constructing new highways. Lee said. He added that it is no longer realistic to build roads for the 4.5-foot eye level of a decade ago. “I don’t propose that existing hill crests be lowered, but in future designs, hills, no-passing zones and guard rails should be adjusted to the current eye levels of automobiles,” Lee said. Lee does not believe that the tower auto designs are all bad. because lower cars make for better stability on the road. Eye level isn’t the only thing to consider when attempts are made to improve highways, he said. “When we set a minimum for

road design standards, we need representative values for eye height, reaction time, performance characteristics covering a large I percentage of autos." Portable Walls In Place Through Air CHICAGO <UPb—There’s noth- ■ ing but air holding up the walls destined to go into many new hotels, motels and possibly homes. The air is compressed inside the new portable walls, to keep them la place. A shot of compressed air in the tiny air nozzle in the side of each panel of the wall ex-1 pands it to fit tightly between floor and ceiling. By removing the air, the wall can be taken down in ‘minutes. Air expands and compresses the walls by raising and lowering a telescoping device. There’s no danger of a “flat” bringing down these walls, since the panels lock tightly together. Restaurant owner A G. Imbrecht, who invented the inflated walls, said he had already installed them in 18 hotels J They're called “Air-Wall," but are a far cry from the balloonlike structures the name suggests. Wood, vinyl, plastic laminate or any other desired exterior, in any deix>ratar finish or color, makes them look like any other wall. Imbrecht called them the only completely portable walls on the market that also are self-support-ing and sound-retardent. Each panel is 36-inches wide and comes in heights up to 12-feet. The panels are light enough to be carried by one man and the ease of putting them up and taking them down suggests they may be widely used in hotels to divide large rooms 3 when necessary. Imbrecht thinks they also maybe used in homes when expanding families need more rooms.

Ten years ago. during the era of Josef Stalin, a disclosure of this nature would have sent jittery Europeans scurrying for bomb shelters. It would have produced war scare headlines around the world. Now , less than a week after Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's sensational disclosure, the discussion in Europe centers on the political rather than the military implications of the incident. Much of the debate here revolves around the wisdom of the United States in making such a frank confession of its espionage and intelligence activity. • Admission Too Complete? gome French politicians believe the admission need not have been quite so complete. President Eisenhower's news conference declaration Wednesday that he again would propose to Khrushchev at Paris his "open skies” plan was more than a counter-move by an embarrassed Chief Executive. It has broad implications which the world’s politicians and statesmen are going to have to deal with sooner than many of them think . Simply put. the question boils down to the old gag; How high is up?" Khrushchev bitterly protests a picture-talcing plane flying over Russia at a height of 10 miles. But he has not protested the fact that the American "Tiros I” satellite crosses Russia day after day at a height of 400 miles taking pictures which may be as good as those the plane gets.

She told him it was “part Paris and part Derby.” He proved to be a leading Seventh Avenue manufacturer and Mrs. Derby said “By the time we docked I had a contract to design for him.” Later, she had her own custom business on Fifth Avenue, and in 1938 started wholesaling her clothes.
